Mu Lar is fourteen-years-old and lives with her family in Burma. She is a very happy girl who always wants to play with other kids. She loves school and hopes to be a teacher someday.
Because of her heart condition, she has had very little energy and her fingers and toes show signs of clubbing. It is hard to play with other kids because she gets exhausted easily, and walking to school tires her. Her heart condition also causes her to eat very little and has stunted her growth, so she looks much younger than she actually is.
For $1500, Mu Lar can receive an artery shunt that will correct her congenital heart condition. This will alleviate her constant feeling of exhaustion. Mu Lar looks forward to being able to walk to school and helping out around the house. Let’s get Mu Lar back to being a normal girl and playing with her friends!
